1 Claim.
This invention relates to clothes trees for the support of a large number of wearing apparel, such as suits, overcoats, dresses and the like arranged on ordinary hangers, and has for the primary object the provision of a device of this character which may be easily and quickly installed in a motor vehicle whereby the user thereof may arrange clothing conveniently without danger of mussing or creasing said clothing and may be readily removed from the vehicle when not needed.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation illustrating a clothes tree constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is an end view illustrating the device.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view illustrating the means of adjusting the clothes tree as to length.
Figure 4 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 44 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a detail sectional View taken on the line 55 of Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 1.
Referring in detail to the drawings, the numeral 5 indicates a telescopic member including sections 6 and l. The telescopic feature of the member 5 permits the latter to be adjusted as to length. The sections 6 and 1 thereof are equipped ,with integral diverging legs 8 on which are mounted cushion feet 9. The stock from which the legs 8 are made has welded or otherwise secured thereto plates II! which are adapted to be embedded in the cushioning material of the feet. The feet may be provided with non-skid faces II.
The section 1 adjacent to the legs 8 is provided with oppositely extending arms l2 terminating in hook-shaped portions l3. The arms [2 are used as supports for clothes hangers on which clothing is arranged.
The section 6 of the member 5 has shrunk thereon an externally screw threaded sleeve 14 and threaded on said sleeve is an adjusting nut l5 provided with apertured finger pieces Hi. The section 1 of the member 5 has mounted thereon a collar l1 equipped with a set screw l8 which may be turned against the section I for securing the collar in adjusted position on said section I.
By freeing the collar H the section I may be moved inwardly and outwardly of the section 6 to bring about adjustment of the feet against the ceiling and flooring of a motor vehicle body. After the proper adjustment has been made the set screw [8 is turned to engage the section I to secure the collar against further movement on the section 1. By rotating the adjusting nut l5 it will be brought into engagement with the collar [1 and thereby force the feet of the device tightly against the flooring and ceiling of the automobile body, consequently preventing displacement of the device within the motor vehicle body. The device when installed as specified will perm'it a large number of coat hangers supporting garments to be suspended on the arms l2 thereof. It is to be understood that in installing this device it is arranged usually in the rear compartment of the automobile body so as not to interfere with the driver. The device being provided with the cushioned feet will prevent damage to the upholstery in the motor vehicle body. The finger pieces I 6 of the nut l5 being provided with openings will permit an instrument to be inserted therein for facilitating the rotation of the nut on the sleeve M to bring about adjustment of the device to the floor and ceiling of the motor vehicle body.
It is believed that the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the drawings will fully set forth the construction and advantages of this invention to those skilled in the art to which such a device relates so that further detailed description will not be required.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
A clothes tree for an automobile comprising a pair of telescopic rods, three legs connected to the outer end of each rod and said legs being in the form of a tripod, cushioned feet connected to the outer ends of the legs and said feet being spaced equal distances apart, acollar slidably arranged on the inner rod, a set screw for locking the collar in adjusted position, an externally threaded sleeve having one end portion fitting over and attached to the inner end of the outer rod, said sleeve being of greater internal diameter than the external diameters of the rods, a nut threaded on said sleeve for engaging the collar for forcing the upper feet against the ceiling of the automobile and the lower feet against the floor of the automobile, and longitudinally extending tubular finger pieces connected with the external part of the nut and a bar carried by the inner rod for supporting hangers.
